What I Have Been Doing? My Progress Report, Part One!

    **This is a two part series. Stay tuned Part Two will be published a few minutes after this one**

    My dear readers. You know all about my struggle.

What Happened? My Previous Blog!

Winter

     These pictures are from February 2018. No new progress pictures since there has been no progress.

Summer and Fall

          Very sad, all summer and into fall. Binge eating has  gotten the best the worst of me. Still no progress.

December 10-14

       I needed a dress for a Christmas party. Bought several dresses online. All them bought were returned for some reason or other. They didn't fit.

       One of the dresses was so thin and such poor quality. It even had a slit up to my waist. This was supposed to be a faux wrap dress. The "wrap" part of the dress had two inches of overlap. The slit would not stay closed. Unless I wanted to stand still the whole party. 

     Realizing that I would need a slip underneath this cheap dress. The faux wrap with no overlap. Made it so that I needed a whole dress. Underneath my dress.

       Went to the mall in search of a party dress looked in so many stores. Couldn't find anything that fit or even really liked. Or anything really in an acceptable price range. At least I didn't have a meltdown in the fitting room. Okay I had a meltdown in the fitting room. Being shaped like a rectangle doesn't help, at all.

      Finally found a beautiful dress at Ross Dress for Less. It was $12.99. Should have gone there first! I already knew what shoes I wanted to wear. So I had to find a dress as fabulous as the shoes.

Found them at Burlington!

December 18

       Went to the doctor for a routine physical and need to go for further testing. Something in my lower abdomen is not quite right.

      Then I also have a routine imaging test that all women must go through. Although, you men should have it done, too!

Last Week of 2018

      This year after hitting 148.8 pounds. This simply will not do. Somethings gotta give. I cannot keep gaining weight. 

     I feel like I am on a merry go round. I pop up to 147.4. Then I start losing and it takes four weeks to get 144. Then along comes my period and boom! I am right back at 147.4. Please stop this roller coaster ride. I want to get off.

Beginning of 2019

     Follow up appointments for the further testing. I can say that I haven't binged. Not since December 18th. This is all very stressful.

    Both tests were quite unpleasant!

Follow Up Tests for Medical Problems

    The news back from the radiology. Both tests were fine. The ultrasound came back as okay. That situation will be monitored. 

    The other test was routine and it was fine as well.
